A Suburban is not a double ended engine like a 44 tonner, but a usually smaller engine with the coal and water bunker being a part of the back of the engine and supported by the back truck. By the way, the Rex engine bearing this configuration has been called a Suburban for over forty years that I know of, right or wrong. Another "by the way", a Rex Suburban is a 2-4-4, not a 4-4-2.
